Premium Ribeye Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribeye

   Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the ribeye with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Carefully place the ribeye in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak using tongs, add the butter, garlic cloves, and thyme to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
